In a departure from its customary procedures, Netflix did not release the final episode with the rest of season two. They reserved the dark, feature-length grand finale for today.

There has been plenty of nudity throughout the series.

From Adam in the comments:

Was this music video posted here previously? I found it on YouTube searching for ‘musicians nude in music videos’ and then filtered it to one year.

Anya is not a shy woman.

Trivia from Apple Music:

The musical project Pudéndüm features a vocalist credited simply as Anya on tracks like ‘CTRŁ.’ Because Pudéndüm operates as an anonymous or pseudonymous electronic music act, the full legal name of the singer Anya has not been publicly disclosed.

From the comments:

Imagine you have a multi decade TV series on public TV and it has scenes like this.

The average American would have his mind blown.

Not quite a see-thru, but better than a mere pokie.

Mr. Nip Slip has a video of this one.

Naked ballet should be a thing.

18-minute short from Spain, filmed in Barcelona.

Julia is on the verge of moving in with her fiancé and taking the next step in a life already mapped out for her. But everything changes when she meets a mysterious young woman who leads her to question her path—and to face a decision that could change everything. *La habitación desnuda* is a short film about identity, desire, and the moment we must choose between security and freedom. It is an intimate journey exploring the pressure of expectations and the vertigo of making a choice for oneself.

The other woman is Montse Muñoz.

Johnny Moronic’s longer, 1080hd video is here.

This is a highly stylized revenge film with a unique gimmick: there is no dialogue! Well, technically the film ends with the only two lines, spoken between the psychotic baddie (Ben Foster in full psycho mode, as is his wont) and the anti-hero (Alan Ritchson, the same muscular guy who plays Reacher).

A drug lord, with the help of a corrupt cop, frames a blue-collar guy for a crime, for no reason other than to steal his girlfriend. The innocent man breaks out of prison and, hoo-boy, is he one angry mofo. Extreme violence ensues.

It’s a movie that held my attention to the end, which I never would have expected from a dialogue-free film. If you are interested in this concept, Variety (Owen Gleiberman) did a great review which is both learned and thoughtful, albeit (in my opinion) a bit too enthusiastic. The film scores 71% on the Tomato Meter, 6.1 at IMDb, which meshes pretty well with my evaluation.

Horror anthology from Denmark. Original title: Yndige Mennesker

Four eerie tales re-imagine H.C. Andersen’s stories as a chilling anthology, where lost souls confront fate, love, and the darkness lurking beneath the surface.

I’ve always found Hans Christian Andersen to be a fascinating character. He ranks with J.M. Barrie, Lewis Carroll and a few others as the most eccentric literary gods in the pantheon of modern world literature.

A few examples:

* The same outsized imagination that made him a great storyteller also made him paranoid and a hypochondriac. He constantly articulated that he was dying from trivial things. A slight morning dizziness or a throat-clearing cough meant he was dying of consumption. Every splinter meant a life-threatening infection was about to set in. He traveled with a rope because he feared being trapped by a hotel fire.

* A visit to his literary hero, Charles Dickens, turned out to be a disaster. Andersen was expected for roughly two weeks, stayed five, and after he departed Dickens famously noted that those five weeks had seemed to the family like “ages.”

* Dickens was not the only one who came to dread the sight of Andersen. Hans had a habit of showing up at acquaintances’ houses unannounced and forcing them to sit through dramatic readings of his latest work, whether they wanted to or not.

* He frequently accompanied friends to brothels in Denmark or abroad, but he would only sit and chat with the sex workers rather than engaging in physical acts. He accompanied a friend to a Paris brothel in 1867, paid twelve francs, talked to a woman, then boasted that he had not “sinned in action.” He was fascinated by sex, but appears to have been too terrified to try it. The evidence strongly indicates that Andersen died a lifelong virgin, never having consummated a physical relationship with anyone.

* He would break into histrionic weeping when his behavior or his works were criticized.

Andersen spent much of his life desperately wanting to belong, never succeeding, and drew upon this frustration to create his greatest stories. Despite the fact that he was such an awkward man, an outsider in every crowd, his stories are known and beloved throughout the world, have been translated into more than a hundred languages, and are embedded in the cultural vocabulary of much of the world. Pretty much everyone in Europe, the New World, and all the English-speaking nations, through reading or osmosis, has assimilated (sanitized versions of) the stories of “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” and many other Andersen tales. At the time of his death, Andersen was internationally revered, and the Danish government paid him an annual stipend for being a “national treasure.” He and his works are now viewed as symbols of Denmark itself.

Spanish-language drama filmed in Buenos Aires

From their first encounter, a spark of attraction arises between them, although they belong to completely different worlds.
